Just curious...does anyone own a legitimate business? Is your business just starting out (spending most of your dollars getting the word out) or has it been established for quite some time making some hard earned payola? If so, what are some things you're learning about yourself, your trade, etc?
For myself, I work a full time job (factory--third shift
) and I own a window cleaning business that I schedule between sleep, family, and the constant called Life. 
Personally, I enjoy making money on my own and having the flexibility that window cleaning offers. The business requires meticulous scheduling, some flexibility, and balancing your workload. My goal is to eventually get away from the J.O.B. (just over broke) and do the window cleaning full time. Some of my philosophy--don't make money for someone else (especially your boss's wife instead of your own (wife, that is))...you are never paid what you are worth but you are getting there by having your own business, and love what you do (Life is way too short!)
...just stoking the fire to get some thoughts going

I own a "bussines" but its under my dad's name...so that i cant get in trouble....I make about £400 a month from selling mobiles and technology.... I dont have a fulltime job atm lol.... so how is it like working in the market?Must be tough...my dad always comes home with a grumpy face and bags under his eyes from sitting on the computer 24/7. I "suggested" to him to take it easy and just go with it but oh no he has to stress and three guesses who he takes the anger out on
- but all the work that goes on during pre-press, like cover designing and layouts, and all the marketing side of it, I had to learn and both are still quite strange and scary for me.
